    I’m American, but I can’t find a place to rent that doesn’t demand an income of 3x rent. Is that not a thing in Canada?

      When I was renting, places were looking the combined income of everyone living there (and any personal guarantor(s)) was at least double the rent, or that you had a long rental history that showed that you could pay.
